You may try 'ant'. It is  written in Java, should meet your requirements.
http://ant.apache.org/

There is 'imake' to create  platform independant  makefile(which will 
depend on 'make').

If this is going to be really big task consider the book "*GNU* 
*Autoconf*, *Automake* and *Libtool* 
<http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/>".  It talks about handling big 
projects using GNU tools.
